Monophonic playmode 2 M2 This PLAYMODE is monophonic too Here the combined CV Gate channels are not addressed in parallel but one after another The first MIDI note will trigger e g channel 1 the next channel 2 and so on Mode M2 offers multiple possibilities Control multiple patches with identi cal settings but spread the voices across the stereo panorama The result will be a rhythmical jumping stereo sound well suited for fast sequences and arpeggios With oscillators filters and modulators being set differently on all partici pating channels and maybe even spread across the stereo image a sequence can drastically change its sound when changing between modes M1 and M2 Although the same notes are used mode M2 will give the impression of up to four new sequences due to our ear separating the different sounds from each other Using an odd number of notes per beat will further increase this effect Try to change between modes M1 and M2 frequently to discover new melodies Although it is tempting to use all four channels for voice rotation notice that also two channels will still allow for interesting possibilities due to con Stant changes Arpeggio like mini sequences in mode M2 can be achieved by using differ ent oscillator tunings for all four channels Start your sequence by playing the same MIDI note and adjust the oscillators The mini sequence is a result of the voice rotation Changing the MIDI note will trans
